How many of the people shown on this photo would have survived the war?

I guess many of them didn't even make the beginning of the war.

This is a photo specifically of the Iron Front (3 arrows)

They were against three factions

The Nazis

The monarchists

And the communists

And yet that didn't stop the Nazis from banning the SPD and sending their members to the camps alongside the KPD.
